A report showing the business optimism and economic outlook conditions for manufacturers in the area of New York, but also for the broader manufacturing activity in the US. The expectation for the reading is 15.0, down from the previous reading of 19.8.

On Friday 14th July 2017 a lower than expected US Consumer Price Index for the month of June 2017 and weak retails sales, plus a lower than expected University of Michigan Confidence survey reading sent the US Dollar significant lower, as it depreciated against the major currency pairs.
